    Precisely. I was wondering the same thing. What cold start problem ? I pull in the choke - DONT open the throttle, just press the starter and she comes to life.

    @ indercool

    engine in zmr is same as in zma, there is no mechanical differences except the FI.

    Bingo.

        yes its true, but this is because of FI and some change in exhaust. when i was buying zmr their showroom manager told me that there is no mechanical change to the engine, except for a little tune- up.

          The feel of ZMR is different from 60 to 100 kmph than the ZMA-R. The ZMR's 60-100 kmph timings are better with linear power curve due to FI; no flat spots or hiccups.

          Also, due to FI, there will be no fuel wastage and ZMR delivers great mileage. ZMR delivers an FE of 47-50 kmpl at 70-80 kmph speeds on highways.

            i hardly get 38 overall mileage, i change gears at 4k.

              Anmol, I just quoted highway mileage and not overall combined mileage. The overall combined mileage for ZMA will be at 32-34 kmpl only. ZMR's fuel injection system will minimize the fuel loss at all rpm range. Did you ever calculate FE cruising at 70-80 kmph?? I used to get 40 kmpl at 70-80 kmph speeds with my ZMA. I am sure ZMR can give around 47 kmpl with same riding conditions. At 90-100 kmph speeds, it would deliver around 40 kmpl, where as ZMA gives around 34 kmpl.

                40kpl on a karizma zmr at 100kph speeds? You sure know how to crack a joke buddy

                    I was referring to a specific bike (ZMR) in my statement (which has a fairing). Of course I have "heard" about something called leg-guard/crash guard.

                    Don't LOL too much, my friend. I had a nasty fall from my ZMR, but the fairing took the beating. I believe it did save my legs.

                    --------------

                    I will take it that I have limited riding experience, and limiting motorcycle knowledge, compared to both of you. Having said that, I think I have read somewhere that body cowl/fairing DOES protect the rider in the event of a fall (to some extent). And I have experienced it.

                    Don't assume that the other person is an idiot before jumping on that keyboard. If you disagree, there are better ways to express that. Thank you.

                      Aren't you underestimating the Honda's PGM-FI? I got 67kmpl at 70 kmph on highway with Stunner FI. I am sure ZMR gives 40 kmpl at 90-100 kmph highway cruising. With Stunner's experience and BI's test figures, I am assuming the above figures.

                      I am ready to take my words back and stand corrected if ZMR owners say they are getting FE below 40 kmpl.

                        Buddy you are correct but RIDE it to BELIEVE it that you are incorrect.


                        In fact only time I went for a long drive in the Expressways in this 3500 kms till date the bike has given the best FE.
                        Myself was pretty stunned.

                        Hey man, once you fall you realize that. Neither did I believe till my fall last week.

                          so its actually a great bike delivering great efficiency even while riding at 100 kmph....best bike for tours and Highways

                            True! If HH can use the FI mill in regular ZMA or ZMR without the fairing, it sells like hotcake. I am gonna right away sell my Dazzler and buy it.

                              Rouge Rider: You sure dont know what a ZMR does buddy 'coz you dont ride one ..
                              I have done a 156km dash @ 110kmph avg. on NH7 to Hyderabad got a FE of 38+kmpl so dude try it out once and comment on it

                              Ravi bhai sure told the right thing, only thing I dont understand is, how he can be that accurate with these FE numbers
                              All the wise men of the world are called wise only after they spoke their mind, so dont keep the ideas to yourselves!

                                Don't you find the suspension/chassis/dynamics to be better on the Dazzler and yes the brakes too?

                                I am really not sure what FE P-220 gives with speeds hovering around 100kmph, but for sure the R15 manages 40kmpl if you don't exceed 110kmph.

                                Would personally prefer a Karizma with PGM-FI. Rest of the features aren't as important and I may(if I had to pick from HH) buy a ZMR, chuck its lower/belly-pan fairing and ride.

                                ^^Haven't ridden the ZMR and my impressions are from Karizma-R. Sorry, but rear-disc brakes don't contribute much unto my braking.
